[QUOTE="Quientus, post: 254274, member: 1834"] That's so true, and there in lies the paradox ... A "True" <insert team name here> fan doesn't have to have "tunnel vision", yet that is exactly what most "die-hard" fans expect others to have, in order to be "true fans" ... You pretty much "nailed" it here ... And with how the draft system is setup it *can* actually (sometimes) "pay off", to play bad in one season ... especially if you are rebuilding or want to ... in order to get a higher draft pick ... Given the previous seasons results ... having a losing season actually makes sense ... if you look at how the team has been managed so far, in regards to "rebuilding" through the draft and being negligent (in terms of acquiring players via the FA market) ... (I'm not saying this is the case, but I'm hypothesizing here ...) If you are planning on (almost purely) of rebuilding through the draft ... it actually makes sense (from a management point of view) NOT to do too well in those seasons where you plan on getting the "best draft choices" (in terms of rankings in the draft picks). Ofcourse I'm purely speculating here, however given the past history this actually makes more sense ... [/QUOTE]
